BJK PROPERTY INSPECTIONS INC

The inspector showed up late. He was paid on November 25, 2019. I started emailing to request the report in December 2019. No report was delivered. I saw my check was cashed in January 2020. No report was delivered. I kept emailing. I started texting & calling as well. The home inspector would pretend that he sent the report & then say I must be the one using the wrong address. I reminded the inspector that I used the email on the website & that his ruse wasn't going to work. The inspector started responding when I told him I would have to file a regulatory complaint with the TN Home Inspector Licensing Program, but then, he never sent my refund or the home inspection report.

I was almost overwhelmed (in the best sense) due to the comprehensiveness of the inspection. They missed nothing! They were also very thorough in explaining to me the reasoning behind their evaluations, and genuinely conveyed care about doing the best job possible. They were prompt, courteous, and efficient. I'm standing behind my review as I am hiring them again for another home purchase. You won't be disappointed.

I went really well. They were very professional and detail oriented! I was disappointed radón inspection was not included but may be due to new construction

I elicited the services of Mr. Gunther's BJK home inspection because of the overall high ratings on Angie's List. I am a physician at Vanderbilt and find it cumbersome to take the time to write a such a lengthy review like this but this has to be said so other consumers may be aware.

Mr. Gunther showed up for the home inspection and was very friendly throughout, constantly engaging me in conversation throughout the inspection. The inspection in entirety took approximately 1 hour and his inspection report showed that the unit was in good shape and all essential components of the home were in working order with minimal issues that needed to be addressed. I proceeded to purchase the condo with virtually no negotiation of repairs with the buyer as I was confident in Mr. Gunther's quality of home inspection.

To summarize, within 3 months of the home purchase I've started to have a leak from the HVAC unit. Within 6 months, the heater component of the HVAC is blowing cold air despite the thermostat being set at 80 degrees. In addition, I've had leaks develop from under the kitchen sink requiring me to revise the plumbing under the kitchen sink and replace the kitchen faucet as well. The plumber at the time of these repairs incidentally discovered that the water shut off valves were in the incorrect location and the water heater is without an expansion tank (with no hose bibs to check the water pressure). Furthermore, my guest bathroom bathtub is unable to drain properly despite multiple rounds of drano and snaking. To top it off, the undermount sink my kitchen has now collapsed into the bottom of the sink due to very poor quality reinforcement which could have been assessed with a simple visual inspection underneath the sink as reported by plumber I had to call in. 

I attempted to contact Mr. Gunther several times regarding these issues and he did call me back once and stated that he could not guarantee that things won't go wrong because he is not a dedicated specialist in HVAC or plumbing. I know Mr. Gunther and BJK Property Inspections are not dedicated specialists in HVAC or plumbing but many of these issues should have been detected by a simple visual inspection and a more thorough job in assessing these individual components should have been included in any routine home inspection.

Ultimately, the issues that the home inspection has failed to bring to my attention would have significantly influenced my decision to proceed with the purchase of this home. Simply stated, I would NOT have purchased this unit at the agreed terms if these issues were brought to my attention at the time of the inspection. I requested that Mr. Gunther contact his his insurance claims department to escalate the issues and Mr. Gunther and BJK Property Inspections have been unresponsive ever since.

BJK completed my requested inspection and testing within a couple of days of my initial call to them. Their report was extremely through and completely detailed. They have superior knowledge of all aspects of their business and the potential hazards and repair issues they identified were well worth the investment. I would highly recommend this company.

Bill Gunther handled the inspection.  On the scheduled date we had an ice storm but Bill managed to get out to the property for the inspection.  His report was detailed and included photographs.  I also consulted him for clarification on suggested improvements and he was accessible and helpful.  An overall good experience.

Absolutely A+.  Highly recommended.
We were in a pinch, trying to close quickly, and BJK was flexible, able to come out quickly, and did a fantastic job.  Tim was on time, half way done by the time I got there (about 45 minutes in), he was VERY thorough, explained everything extremely well, answered every single one of my many questions, and was very patient.  The final report was well laid out, contained a lot of information, and was also very informative around preventative maintenance items for the future, not just the items found during the inspection.  Great job.  Thank you all very much.

Bill, who is the owner of the company came out to perform the inspection.  He spent a great deal of time explaining the details of the inspection, which I was very interested in.  He explained to me things that were higher priority than others to fix and also explained which things are truly safety issues that should be repaired ASAP.  The actual inspector report, when compared to other providers seemed to be the most thorough and explicit, which is what sold me in the first place.  After receiving the actual report, I was very happy with it.  I would wholeheartedly recommend Bill and his company for home inspection.

 Wish we had hired Bill from the beginning. He knows his business and is very friendly, easy to talk to and extremely informative.

BJK was pleasant to deal with from the first phone call. A nice family owned business. They worked with us on our limited time frame. They showed up on time. The home inspection process was very informative and professionally executed. We received a very detailed report the next day and they were available to go over any questions we had on the report. A little pricier than some inspectors we looked into, but definitely worth the money! Would recommend to families and friends.
